Bears cut three players Saturday

The team is dealing with multiple injuries to starters on the offensive line and at wide receiver, necessitating the roster juggling in advance of Week 2's matchup with the 49ers. Fales (shoulder) and Fiammetta (hamstring) had already been ruled out for Sunday's game. The team will likely send Fales to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Bears rule out three for Week 2

(9/12/14) The Bears have ruled out three players prior to their Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.

Offensive linemen Roberto Garza and Matt Slauson will not go against San Francisco. Fullback Tony Fiammetta will also be sidelined. All three players missed the entire week of practice due to their injuries.

Bears fullback Tony Fiammetta is known more for his blocking than anything else. To wit, Fiammetta had just four catches last season. He's not productive enough on a regular basis to consider drafting. Leave him off of rosters.
